Got a pint of this beauty at the always magnificent Cricketers Arms in St Helens last night (where darts legend Steve Bunting, a frequent visitor, stroked our dog).
Riverhead Brewery, an offshoot of the Ossett brewery, is located in Marsden in West Yorkshire, a microbrewery also responsible for the superb Sparth Mild, which they've had on at Manchester's Piccadilly Tap this week.
Digley is a robust chestnut-coloured bitter with a hint of caramel, just enough to deepen the texture without overwhelming the classic bitter taste. AT 4.5 ABV, it's a moderate but substantial little devil that set me up nicely for a pizza at The Turk's Head (also well worth a visit) afterwards - more about that wonderful hostelry in a future entry.
